Spent all of last school year teaching at my step-daughter's elementary school, and then being with her otherwise, so sort of a stay at home Dad scenario.

Batson,
Although my status as an at home dad was not by choice, I like the time I am able to spend with the youngsters, especially at their age. Youngest just had his 3rd birthday and oldest is running up on #7. The pay for daddy daycare sucks (zero), but I have enjoyed the time off and know I will miss this time when I am back at work.

So what do all the other wifes do for a living? Generally speaking, that supports your H2 habits?

Being home is a roller coaster for me but far more ups than downs.
My wife is a physician and we are committed to the children being raised by one of us full-time. NOTHING wrong with daycare & nannies etc. but I speak from 1st hand experience my boy has bonded to me in an entirely different way than my girl based on me know being the primary caretaker. |
I've been a stay at home Dad for the past 4 years. We have 2 sons. Ages 5 years and 18 months. I change more diapers in one day than my dad did his whole life! LOL
Ditto Batson34's comment's on child raising and bonding. I have a special relationship with my boys that I am very glad I didn't miss out on. My wife is a VP with a major fast food company. BA |
Somebody e-mailed this to me a couple years ago. Thought you other SAHD's might enjoy it:
**DAD'S ADVICE From a San Diego Father who has identified 35 truths he learned from his children: 1. There is no such thing as childproofing your house. 2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3. A 4-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing pound puppy underwear and a Superman cape. 5. It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20' room. 6. Baseballs make marks on ceilings. 7. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up several times before you get a hit. 8. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. 9. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long ways. 10. The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 11. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh-oh", it is already too late. 12. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke--- -----* lots of it. 13. A 5 year-old boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 40-year old man says it can only be done in the movies. 14. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day. 15. If you use a waterbed as a home plate while wearing baseball shoes, it does not leak. It explodes. 16. A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2,000 sq. ft house almost 4 inches deep. 17. Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year-old. 18. Duplos will not. 19. Play-Doh and microwave ovens should never be used in the same sentence. 20. Super Glue is forever. 21. MacGyver can teach us many things we don't want to know. 22. So can Tarzan. 23. No matter how much Jell-O you put in the pool, you still can't walk on water. 24. Pool filters do not like Jell-O. 25. VCRs do not eject PB&J sandwiches, even though TV commercials show they do. 26. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 27. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 28. You probably don't want to know what that odor is. 29. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. 30. Plastic toys do not like ovens. 31. The fire department in San Diego has at least a 5-minute response time. 32. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. 33. It will, however, make cats dizzy. 34. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. 35. A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life. (....unfortunately, mostly in retrospect) ![]() |
I'm a part-time stay at home dad. I work from home when my wife works. She's a part-time RN at UCONN medical center. Been doing it for 4 years now, since my daughter was born. We have 2 now - my daughter is 4 and my son is 2½. Its better now that they're getting a little older. Those days of screaming infants while on a conference call sucked bad. You learn how to use the Mute button very well!
We're on our own, no family help, etc so its been quite interesting. Its hard sometimes, but worth it. We werent comfortable leaving our kids with anyone until they could talk. It's worked out well & definitely recommend it! ![]() - Dan ------------------------------------------- ![]() ------------------------------------------- |
